All I'm seeing is negative comments, saying no one knows how to feel about this but can we all just appreciate how much beauty the lyrics hold? Listening carefully and actually emphasizing the lyrical content holds a piece of Jenna, and speaks about how she feels and clearly these lyrics are deep and close to her heart. So honestly stop finding every flaw, and just appreciate how much time was put into this song and maybe this music video scene holds a look into Jenna's mind.
Just because you like it don't mean we all have too. It's an opinion, there are Meany songs out there with meaning, don't mean this one has to be up top of them all.
This is so moving😌I'm an aspiring writer. Would you all view this playlist of the body of most of my work, Of Armour by ninanile. If you like it, please share my videos & subscribe. Thanks a ton :')
+Sofia Buc Calderon (sophiwillz) The fact the WHOLE album is marked as "Pop" on iTunes makes me worry a bit. I know they wanted to experiment and all, but I really hope they don't ditch all of their previous inspirations...
I recently met her and we had a very very long talk about this album and her explanation of it all really makes it that much more powerful to rewatch this and listen to it again. I choked up this time. such a wonderful and beautiful spirit who deserves to be more well known not based of how different she is, but how talented and inspirational.
I don't quite remember much of it all, but basically she said this album was a way for them to transition and a way for Jenna to show her emotions in a different light. This album is incredibly important to Jenna and the band and if you'd like to know, Jenna said Oxygen is her favorite song from Limitless.
Um Paige, who are you and why should I care? Self importance carries no weight so I can not invite you into my tirade. It's full of my logic and my thoughts ... Join me ?
+Elle Spicer They didn't find the best song from The Other Side for the first time as well (as far as I remember, the first song published way The Ocean, and in my humble opinion, there are waay better songs on that album), maybe the second will be jaw-dropping.
+GamesSpartan lol she means human interaction as in...humans interacting with other humans haha can't believe that needed to be explained :P bless your basic mind :)
I don't know how people are criticising this song; i've been hearing it non stop for two days and it hasn't stopped giving me shivers since the first time
+Evelyn Tapia fans separated into two groups with this album. Fans of pop punk, and fans of Tonight Alive. To everyone dismissing this album for not being pop punk enough, it's their loss for not giving it a chance. This song is full of emotion! I love it, along with the rest of the album.
Just saying, when this song first came out at the end of 2015, I was bawling by 2:32 on the first listen. I can’t even describe how emotionally powerful and raw this video is. Before that, I only knew Tonight Alive for their cover of “Little Lion Man” and “The Edge.” After that, I knew they were something special, and I made sure to listen to the rest of their music, which was full of tracks that affected me in the same way. Not gonna lie, I was in tears when I met her and the rest of the band at Warped Tour.
Such a powerful song! I love the dynamics and how it changes from a softer verse to a strong bridge and finishing chorus. Can't wait to see how they play it live!
2 years later and this song just gets better with age! People seem to miss how this does still vibe with The Other Side. One of my favorites from the album
They always know what to say. it's like they are in my world and release songs/albums at the right exact time I need them the most. They are so talented and amazing. I appreciate their existence. I honestly can't wait to hear more.
guys can we stop arguing over the song stop arguing about what "pop punk" is and stop comparing tonight alive to paramore and just apreciate this song tonight alive is one of the reason why im still here on this earth TONIGHT ALIVE KEEPS ME SANE!
What is funny is that Paramore isn't even a reference for the new generations anymore, 'cause there are plenty of bands in this genre now. Still, people who get older take long periods of time do adjust to new paradigms and keep talking as if what was important in 2010 matters, when it clearly doesn't. And it doesn't since long.
+Alex Wingrave To me this song feels so...different but it gives me a feeling I don't know but I love it...I think this song definitely could be single...I love it :)
+Alex Wingrave This is pop its okay to make pop or change the gender but they were pop rock/punk so i excepted something better i dunno we have to wait the whole album to see whats going on. :/
Blair Mcdougall You know, I would not call this pop. This is slow song by poprock band and it's perfectly alright I think, this is really meaningful song and god bless songs like that :)
As a person that just started listening to this band YESTERDAY and seeing so many people saying stuff like "They sound different" and "Not as good as their older stuff" yet all I have to say is that is the lead singer the same? YES. Is the band still making music? YES. Then stop complaining and just like them for who the are and who they have been, if you cannot handle their new sound, don't listen to their new stuff.
+Tyler Miller They sound different but it doesn't matter...I like it anyway because they are still the same! :) Instead, sometimes there are some bands that change both sound and "music personality". It's disappointing to a devoted fan.. (I'm talking about Bring me the Horizon, do you know?)
Silvia Sibbia I don't actually listen to Bring Me the Horizon, but I have heard from friends that their sound has turned more soft and less Heavy Punk like.
You can't say that this is a new TA or that they change their style when you only listen to one song. This is definetly something that TA would do, this sounds like them. It's only a slow song, like many others, nothing new or different. (For me, this sounds a little bit like Complexes or Bathwater, but slower)
I think I'm the only person who actually loves this song and the video. its about being lonely, it wouldn't make sense for her to be surrounded by other people. I personally think the lyrics are perfect and her voice is beautiful in this song. super excited for this album👌❤
I love the new album. The new style bothered me for a while since I was expecting something like Lonely girl but then started listening again and it finally grew on me. Waves is probably my favorite one so far.
I'M CRYING, THIS SONG IS SO INTIMATE AND DEEP. THE SOUND IS AMAZING, YOU REALLY GREW UP AS A BAND. YOU NEVER DISAPPOINT! (and now I feel so so so so emo)
This is definitely a different style but I find it absolutely stunning. The evolution of a band's sound is inevitable and, quite frankly, hateful comments will not change that. What truly matters is that the band are making music that THEY are passionate about. You don't have to like it. Just respect it.
I'm honestly surprised by the amount of negative comments omg. This song is soo powerful I loved it so much?? And she performed it with such feeling I got chills.
I am beyond excited for this. I've been such a dedicated follower since 2012 and I never had a doubt in my mind that their new stuff would disappoint. They were the band that made me fall in love with live performance. Rock on, TA!
As a musician myself, I fully appreciate the diversity this band continues to bring to the scene. As long as it is written from their own thoughts, feelings, and inspirations, then I am all for it. It's when the record companies, managers, and the ones "pulling the strings" get too involved in production that I have an issue with it. I have seen too many up and coming bands follow that path to destruction, ultimately selling out to the record label, creating fluff just to make a buck. It is quite sad. Looking forward to more from this upcoming release!
Don't know lyrics behind this song, but it reminds me when I was on "antidepressant" (drug - paroxetine) ). My senses and feelings were switched off, I was going through a long and painful battle, my immune system had been shut down and I was poisoned by the doctors who told me that antidepressant will help me! Antidepressant destroyed my life and I almost died because of it! I did not feel anything at the time, I did not fear death and I did not feel love, nor any other emotions! I felt like "I was existing but not living" I was looking for something extreme, looking for pain, looking for something to feel, yet the world seem to be colourless "grey"! This song describes perfectly how I felt and it touches me deeply as I lost my wife and my wonderful life because of antidepressants! "I'm doing fine" now, yet my inner being was so damaged that I may have never feel true love nor true happiness till the end of my days! I can't find peace anywhere I go, anything I do, anyone I met! Maybe that one day I will be able, maybe... though I keep telling myself "I will be better"!
I need human interaction I am under stimulated All my dreams are pullin' me deep Into places I know All the while I'm fighting sleep Darkness settling around me My thoughts surround me I don't know love, I don't know hate I am numb, wish I could find the words to say Asking please, as colors fade, I need to breathe Before I turn the world to grey I turn the world to grey I have means for satisfaction But a force field Stands between on four feet I don't know love, I don't know hate I am numb, wish I could find the words to say Asking please, as colors fade I need to breathe Before I turn the world to grey I turn the world to grey But I will be better I will be better I will, I will I will be better I will be better I will be better I will, I will I don't know love, I don't know hate I am numb, wish I could find the words to say Asking please, as colors fade I need to breathe Before I turn the world to grey I turn the world to grey But I will be better
Listening to the song without watching the video let me really hear it, I love it. I love the new direction and I'm incredibly excited to hear the rest of the record.
her fucking vocals in this song are so perfect and the entire emotion of her voice is so raw and powerful. i'm more of a fan of the older tonight alive, but I love this new sound.
I don't understand what people don't like about this? And am I the only one who doesn't hear a big difference between this song and the others except for her accent being a little more prominent? I don't think the style changed too much but they are growing! I really loved it and I can't wait for the new album!!! You go Jenna!! (And the rest of Tonight Alive!)
Different sound but its still Tonight Alive. Tbh this song was okay, I think it'll slightly grow on me if I listen to it over and over. Really do hope that they have some really upbeat songs like The Ocean, Lonely Girl, Wasting Away, Listening etc. . . I do accept change for bands and I'm open to what Tonight Alive have done on their new record. Other than that I'm excited and can't wait to see them live again and hopefully meet them! I'm hoping that their new album is just as good as their past albums!
+Paula Reboll Yes its Tonight Alive, if it wasn't Tonight Alive you wouldn't see "Tonight Alive - Human Interaction" on the video. If this wasn't Tonight Alive like you say it's not then why doesn't it say "Jenna McDougall - Tonight Alive"? It's not a solo project. Just because you don't see the rest of the band doesn't mean that it's not Tonight Alive. Jenna is just the singer who's acting in the music video because it comes from a personal experience that she went through. Seriously though don't be saying any nonsense.
+Paula Reboll If anything it was probably the management who's idea was to have only Jenna do the music video alone. Tonight Alive aren't in control of that. You'll see that the next video will show the whole band.
The lonely term can be portrayed with a band too. That really doesn't justify it. It feels like it's only her We fans know they Are a band. But third people wouldn't think so. Some people don't like the song or her hair What I find very Unpleasant is that the band is not there.
I love this so much. I can relate to this with my past self. I got over it, and so can anyone in that time right now. Don't give up, it's not over till you let it.
i don't care what people are saying about how this isn't "pop punk enough" this song is fucking beautiful. and this band is amazing. I'm pretty sure they could make a country song (my least favorite genre) and i would still love it.
Lyrics I need human interaction I am under stimulated All my dreams are pullin' me deep Into places I know All the while I’m fighting sleep Darkness settling around me My thoughts surround me I don’t know love, I don’t know hate I am numb, wish I could find the words to say Asking please, as colors fade I need to breathe Before I turn the world to grey I turn the world to grey I have means for satisfaction But a force field Stands between on four feet I don’t know love, I don’t know hate I am numb, wish I could find the words to say Asking please, as colors fade I need to breathe Before I turn the world to grey I turn the world to grey But I will be better I will be better I will, I will I will be better I will be better I will be better I will, I will I don’t know love, I don’t know hate I am numb, wish I could find the words to say Asking please, as colors fade I need to breathe Before I turn the world to grey I turn the world to grey But I will be better
After hearing this song a month ago, then coming back to it randomly, this song is amazing! If you get out of the mindset that Tonight Alive's new album will be the same feel as their last one (which I still hope they are) and look at this song as its on entity, it's extremely beautiful.
also, so what if shes the only one in the video, it means nothing. Many other bands do the same, if you are a fan of New Years Day, in their new video Malevolence only Ashley is in the video. Also her being by herself in the vid is the whole meaning of the song, afraid of human interaction.
This song is in my top ten of all time list. The lyrics sum up how life can get as you age if you are not careful. I sometimes slip into a grey place just void of emotion and it takes some kind interaction to pull me out.
+tom s People. This song is about being lonely. Lonely not in the way everybody hates you, lonely in the way that nobody cares about you. That nobody thinks you worth their time, that you are really lonely but that it will be alright one day (Because we know everything will be alright one day) But this is the reason why is jenna alone in this video. You can see how much she is into this song and this song just gives me those feelings i can't find words to explain. This is the point of song and it's amazing, but we know that whole band is still here.
Bri, I have a serious question to you. Being a black woman as yourself, do you feel any sense of being uncomfortable with Jenna's braids? I was arguing and arguing all day with another fan on Facebook saying that Jenna wearing dreadlocks is wrong, and saying it was a matter of cultural appropriation. You feel that her braids are offensive to the black race or anything of that nature.
+lauren peralta wow I love how insightful you are about this Lauren! :) But if I'm going to be honest it does bother me as a black women who has been told my hair was "getho" or "hood" and she can wear it and it be called stylish or hip. But I hope people can focus on the song and everything and not her hair.
+lauren peralta Better question, do they know that dreadlocks appear in Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, as well as multiple culture, where they sometimes represent the roots of a tree meaning the wearer is close to nature, including being shown in Scottish carvings. While most people focus on the Rastafarian connection in Jamaica that is less than 100 years old, while Hinduism is the oldest religion still practiced.
+bri nicole (whoaitsbri) Thanks I was being very polite with my comment. But I see where you're coming from, there's many black men and women who have been put down and being called Ghetto because of their dreadlocks. Thanks for the reply!
Love the meaning behind this song and how the video goes along perfectly. The video really helps with telling the story of the song since it's just Jenna.
okay but honestly im legit crying right now this isnt the usual tonight alive but its still so beautiful no matter what and I'm really excited to see where this is leading to
All I'm seeing is negative comments, saying no one knows how to feel about this but can we all just appreciate how much beauty the lyrics hold? Listening carefully and actually emphasizing the lyrical content holds a piece of Jenna, and speaks about how she feels and clearly these lyrics are deep and close to her heart. So honestly stop finding every flaw, and just appreciate how much time was put into this song and maybe this music video scene holds a look into Jenna's mind.
Which also ties to why she's probably the only one in the video, because it's how she feels.
i think it's amazing
I think its beautiful.
Just because you like it don't mean we all have too.
It's an opinion, there are Meany songs out there with meaning, don't mean this one has to be up top of them all.
This is so moving😌I'm an aspiring writer. Would you all view this playlist of the body of most of my work, Of Armour by ninanile. If you like it, please share my videos & subscribe. Thanks a ton :')
THE ULTIMATE QUARANTINE SONG
and still in 2021,just recording for those that dont make it to the other side
I don't know how to react to this, this is a new TA I need to process before emiting an opinion
right
+Sofia Buc Calderon (sophiwillz) hopefully this is just one of the slower songs on the album
+Sofia Buc Calderon (sophiwillz) You can't say that this is a new TA when you only listen to one song, this sounds like them, it's just a slow song.
+Casandra yeah its just like their other slow songs. lets wait till March when the album comes out
+Sofia Buc Calderon (sophiwillz) The fact the WHOLE album is marked as "Pop" on iTunes makes me worry a bit. I know they wanted to experiment and all, but I really hope they don't ditch all of their previous inspirations...
This song is a masterpiece. I’ve been here for over 7 years
Me too. Mentally
Jenny is the best ❤
Great song pity the world missed it just shows you how much is missed.
I recently met her and we had a very very long talk about this album and her explanation of it all really makes it that much more powerful to rewatch this and listen to it again. I choked up this time. such a wonderful and beautiful spirit who deserves to be more well known not based of how different she is, but how talented and inspirational.
hi! could you please share how she explained it? I find this song really interesting
Yes please explain😊
I don't quite remember much of it all, but basically she said this album was a way for them to transition and a way for Jenna to show her emotions in a different light. This album is incredibly important to Jenna and the band and if you'd like to know, Jenna said Oxygen is her favorite song from Limitless.
nice, on the surface turbulent on the depths.
Um Paige, who are you and why should I care? Self importance carries no weight so I can not invite you into my tirade. It's full of my logic and my thoughts ... Join me ?
a song about escaping depression and getting better a nice way to start a album this song is amazing and truly get's to the point
I have a feeling this first song is just the beginning then the next single they release will be a pop punk masterpiece
+Jason LovesABR yeah I mean I love paramore but if tonight alive went full "pop" Idk what I would do with myself
+Jason LovesABR Gosh, I was about to say the same things..
+Elle Spicer They didn't find the best song from The Other Side for the first time as well (as far as I remember, the first song published way The Ocean, and in my humble opinion, there are waay better songs on that album), maybe the second will be jaw-dropping.
+Jason LovesABR yeah it's always kinda disappointing when an amazing punk pop band changes
If you look at the genre for the new album it's under Rock whereas all the other albums are under Alternative.
I'm not a fan of human interaction itself, but I am a fan of this song.
I approve! All is right here
+DucksMakeRainbows The song IS Human Interaction. The band is Tonight Alive.
+GamesSpartan lol she means human interaction as in...humans interacting with other humans haha can't believe that needed to be explained :P bless your basic mind :)
Aaagh. I see what you did there! 😊
I am either!
I don't know how people are criticising this song; i've been hearing it non stop for two days and it hasn't stopped giving me shivers since the first time
I second that! its beautiful
+Bethany Gilmore The lyrics are perfection. You can tell this song means a lot to Jenna... too bad fans don't see that
+Evelyn Tapia fans separated into two groups with this album. Fans of pop punk, and fans of Tonight Alive. To everyone dismissing this album for not being pop punk enough, it's their loss for not giving it a chance. This song is full of emotion! I love it, along with the rest of the album.
Can't beliave it's almost seven years. And I am still obsessed with the beauty of this song, its meaning and the video
Beautiful song...
I understand how much meaning this has to Jenna. I can totally relate to all the lyrics
+Andrew McGuinness they're my number 1 too
Same
Jenna shows remarkable depth in a lot of her songs. Both the lyrics and the sincere emotional expression. What a beautiful soul ❤️
These lyrics have so much meaning, this song is beautiful
I just love the parallel irony of how this album is named Limitless and how people are so limited in their ability to understand the depth of it.
+++❤
Just saying, when this song first came out at the end of 2015, I was bawling by 2:32 on the first listen. I can’t even describe how emotionally powerful and raw this video is. Before that, I only knew Tonight Alive for their cover of “Little Lion Man” and “The Edge.”

IM CRYING IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG
You're Not The Only One Bro, Me Too (Notice: I'm Sending This Covered In Tears ^v^
2 years later and this song just gets better with age! People seem to miss how this does still vibe with The Other Side. One of my favorites from the album
They always know what to say. it's like they are in my world and release songs/albums at the right exact time I need them the most. They are so talented and amazing. I appreciate their existence. I honestly can't wait to hear more.
This is soooo good, ignore all the shitty comments, I love this song!
I agree .. I feel like the album will be much heavier .. It pretty awesome seeing the band growing up .. (Still love all albums 😊)
I agree... this song is so beautiful!
+Kristina Magdich (AliceInWonderland) It's marked as Pop on iTunes...
+Charliediggy completely agree
Kate Mills Yeaaah! :)
guys can we stop arguing over the song stop arguing about what "pop punk" is and stop comparing tonight alive to paramore and just apreciate this song tonight alive is one of the reason why im still here on this earth TONIGHT ALIVE KEEPS ME SANE!

I'm so late to jump on this wagon but holy hell I can't stop listening to this. This song just sounds so amazing
LOVED IT! Greetings From Turkey!
Bende bayıldım:) greetings from UK!
Yeni albüm için çok heyecanlandım. LOVE FROM TURKEY!
+Elif Çiftlik Tur kapsamında Türkşye yokmuş =(
+CaptainFlygon hiçbir turda olmuyoruz zaten alıştım artık
+Elif Çiftlik +CaptainFlygon acaba bizzat kendimiz mi rica etsek :D
this song is seriously way too underrated !!! you guys are one of my favorite bands, hope you'll come to israel in one of your tours soon!
This genuinely makes me happy!! Very Alanis Morrissette 👌🏻
+Capn Mollie same!!
agreed!!
I'm so undecided on whether I like this. Really hope the album is more pop-punk!
+Arnau Orriols Agreed, it's a nice enough slow song but not very obviously catchy. I guess we'll have to wait for the album and see
+Alex Wingrave To me this song feels so...different but it gives me a feeling I don't know but I love it...I think this song definitely could be single...I love it :)

Silvia Sibbia
I don't actually listen to Bring Me the Horizon, but I have heard from friends that their sound has turned more soft and less Heavy Punk like.
This is sooo different from their previous work but I absolutely love this song. The sound, her vocals... amazing. Probably my favorite TA song ever..
I HAVE NO CHILL LISTENED TO THIS SO MANY TIMES ALREADY MY LIFE IS COMPLETE!!!
I've heard this song like twice and I'M ALREADY IN LOVE
You can't say that this is a new TA or that they change their style when you only listen to one song. This is definetly something that TA would do, this sounds like them. It's only a slow song, like many others, nothing new or different.
(For me, this sounds a little bit like Complexes or Bathwater, but slower)
The subtle layers of this work only strengthens my conviction of it's worth Everytime I revisit this path... Thank you.
I think I'm the only person who actually loves this song and the video. its about being lonely, it wouldn't make sense for her to be surrounded by other people. I personally think the lyrics are perfect and her voice is beautiful in this song. super excited for this album👌❤
I did not see this sound coming but it's tonight alive and they're AWESOME AND ALREADY OBSESSED WITH THE SONG!!
I love the new album. The new style bothered me for a while since I was expecting something like Lonely girl but then started listening again and it finally grew on me. Waves is probably my favorite one so far.
I love the instrumentals. It sounds so fresh, also since they're mainly a pop punk band makes it even more legit. Love it, Tonight Alive.
This song is just what I was needing right now.
I'M CRYING, THIS SONG IS SO INTIMATE AND DEEP. THE SOUND IS AMAZING, YOU REALLY GREW UP AS A BAND. YOU NEVER DISAPPOINT! (and now I feel so so so so emo)
Like i don't think im even ready for this album!! CAN'T FUCKING WAIT!!!!
This is the first Tonight Alive song I ever heard nearly a decade ago - still love it now.
This is definitely a different style but I find it absolutely stunning. The evolution of a band's sound is inevitable and, quite frankly, hateful comments will not change that. What truly matters is that the band are making music that THEY are passionate about. You don't have to like it. Just respect it.

if you really liked tonight alive you'd love all the songs they do, I know I do, I'd love to have an amazing voice like her, she is truly amazing
I can't stop humming this song. One of the best they have produced.
Great song!! Absolutely love it! :D!
I love how raw the song is. It's a slow song not a new sound. Chill out.
As a musician myself, I fully appreciate the diversity this band continues to bring to the scene. As long as it is written from their own thoughts, feelings, and inspirations, then I am all for it. It's when the record companies, managers, and the ones "pulling the strings" get too involved in production that I have an issue with it. I have seen too many up and coming bands follow that path to destruction, ultimately selling out to the record label, creating fluff just to make a buck. It is quite sad. Looking forward to more from this upcoming release!
What a band, had the the privilege of watching them in York (UK) 2 years ago,! The best band I've watched ever since!
Don't know lyrics behind this song, but it reminds me when I was on "antidepressant" (drug - paroxetine)
). My senses and feelings were switched off, I was going through a long and painful battle, my immune system had been shut down and I was poisoned by the doctors who told me that antidepressant will help me! Antidepressant destroyed my life and I almost died because of it! I did not feel anything at the time, I did not fear death and I did not feel love, nor any other emotions! I felt like "I was existing but not living" I was looking for something extreme, looking for pain, looking for something to feel, yet the world seem to be colourless "grey"! This song describes perfectly how I felt and it touches me deeply as I lost my wife and my wonderful life because of antidepressants! "I'm doing fine" now, yet my inner being was so damaged that I may have never feel true love nor true happiness till the end of my days! I can't find peace anywhere I go, anything I do, anyone I met! Maybe that one day I will be able, maybe... though I keep telling myself "I will be better"!
I need human interaction
I am under stimulated
All my dreams are pullin' me deep
Into places I know
All the while I'm fighting sleep
Darkness settling around me
My thoughts surround me
I don't know love, I don't know hate
I am numb, wish I could find the words to say
Asking please, as colors fade,
I need to breathe
Before I turn the world to grey
I turn the world to grey
I have means for satisfaction
But a force field
Stands between on four feet
I don't know love, I don't know hate
I am numb, wish I could find the words to say
Asking please, as colors fade
I need to breathe
Before I turn the world to grey
I turn the world to grey
But I will be better
I will be better
I will, I will
I will be better
I will be better
I will be better
I will, I will
I don't know love, I don't know hate
I am numb, wish I could find the words to say
Asking please, as colors fade
I need to breathe
Before I turn the world to grey
I turn the world to grey
But I will be better
Listening to the song without watching the video let me really hear it, I love it. I love the new direction and I'm incredibly excited to hear the rest of the record.
her eyes captivate me everytime.
her fucking vocals in this song are so perfect and the entire emotion of her voice is so raw and powerful. i'm more of a fan of the older tonight alive, but I love this new sound.
I don't understand what people don't like about this? And am I the only one who doesn't hear a big difference between this song and the others except for her accent being a little more prominent? I don't think the style changed too much but they are growing! I really loved it and I can't wait for the new album!!! You go Jenna!! (And the rest of Tonight Alive!)
The lyrics are so beautiful, and so is Jenna's voice on this song. It's really touching.
Different sound but its still Tonight Alive. Tbh this song was okay, I think it'll slightly grow on me if I listen to it over and over. Really do hope that they have some really upbeat songs like The Ocean, Lonely Girl, Wasting Away, Listening etc. . . I do accept change for bands and I'm open to what Tonight Alive have done on their new record. Other than that I'm excited and can't wait to see them live again and hopefully meet them! I'm hoping that their new album is just as good as their past albums!
Exactly my thoughts haha
+Juan Villegas exactly yes
this song sounds similar to you don't owe me anything
+Paula Reboll Yes its Tonight Alive, if it wasn't Tonight Alive you wouldn't see "Tonight Alive - Human Interaction" on the video. If this wasn't Tonight Alive like you say it's not then why doesn't it say "Jenna McDougall - Tonight Alive"? It's not a solo project. Just because you don't see the rest of the band doesn't mean that it's not Tonight Alive. Jenna is just the singer who's acting in the music video because it comes from a personal experience that she went through. Seriously though don't be saying any nonsense.
+Paula Reboll If anything it was probably the management who's idea was to have only Jenna do the music video alone. Tonight Alive aren't in control of that. You'll see that the next video will show the whole band.
I honestly love you guys so much. can't wait for warped tour. I cried when I saw you guys were going. can't wait.
HAHA still 3 hours until its the 30th in the UK yes lads good shit amiright
I live in the country next to the UK so i feel u 😂
It's still the 29th here in the states ;)
It's the 30th in Australia
+ShadowStep398 Its the 28th in Belarus, Marty McFly
Jenna. Thank you for showing us your soul yet again. I cannot wait to the full album! Till then...stay limitless
First: Im so in love with this song already, love at first hearing
+Bogi Szabó exactly. listen to the song and its very obvious why shes in it alone. its the point of the song
finally someone said it! its about being alone so it would make no sense if everyone was in it.
The lonely term can be portrayed with a band too. That really doesn't justify it. It feels like it's only her
We fans know they Are a band. But third people wouldn't think so.
Some people don't like the song or her hair
What I find very Unpleasant is that the band is not there.
^ yeah it could, but it would be kinda harder that way. Im sure they will be in the next video
I love this so much. I can relate to this with my past self. I got over it, and so can anyone in that time right now. Don't give up, it's not over till you let it.
i don't care what people are saying about how this isn't "pop punk enough"
this song is fucking beautiful. and this band is amazing.
I'm pretty sure they could make a country song (my least favorite genre) and i would still love it.
I absolutely love this song and her hair and everything.
Lyrics
I need human interaction
I am under stimulated
All my dreams are pullin' me deep
Into places I know
All the while I’m fighting sleep
Darkness settling around me
My thoughts surround me
I don’t know love, I don’t know hate
I am numb, wish I could find the words to say
Asking please, as colors fade
I need to breathe
Before I turn the world to grey
I turn the world to grey
I have means for satisfaction
But a force field
Stands between on four feet
I don’t know love, I don’t know hate
I am numb, wish I could find the words to say
Asking please, as colors fade
I need to breathe
Before I turn the world to grey
I turn the world to grey
But I will be better
I will be better
I will, I will
I will be better
I will be better
I will be better
I will, I will
I don’t know love, I don’t know hate
I am numb, wish I could find the words to say
Asking please, as colors fade
I need to breathe
Before I turn the world to grey
I turn the world to grey
But I will be better
Thank you!!!
Watched again and it struck me. Voice, lyrics, instruments, production... The hair play is world class.
her voice is incredible, and this song really showcases it, but i hope the album is heavier :)
no matter how many times i play this song, it's as if it was the first; crying and getting overwhelmed by the rhythm.
This song gave me goosebumps 💕
I really love this.... like REALLY LOVE THIS. I can't stop listening this song since it came out.
GUYS MARCH 6 IS MY BDAY LIMITLESS IS MY ULTIMATE BDAY PRESENT
+Fall Out Fraser SAMEEEE
Mine is on the first!!!!! Yay
march 4th is my bday buzzing for tis album
mine too :D
+Fall Out Fraser Mines on the 6th too!
This song, has the most amazing message I have ever heard in any song I have ever experienced.
Damn this is amazing!
this is the most beautiful song ive heard all year
I'm only 5 seconds in buT ITS ALREADY SO GOOD
This song is awesome and it's the same sound we are used to have from them..... I really love this song!!!! Keep killing it!!!!
I got a very 90s vibe from the music vid haha
Over 2 years strong and this is still one of my top favorite songs ever. Top 3 even.
So today I was thinking "...Tonight Alive hasn't done anything in a while..."
I love this. I'm excited for the new album
I actually love the song
This song honestly is just very relatable and I'm glad I stumbled upon this now
I love this song sm :,)
After hearing this song a month ago, then coming back to it randomly, this song is amazing! If you get out of the mindset that Tonight Alive's new album will be the same feel as their last one (which I still hope they are) and look at this song as its on entity, it's extremely beautiful.
also, so what if shes the only one in the video, it means nothing. Many other bands do the same, if you are a fan of New Years Day, in their new video Malevolence only Ashley is in the video. Also her being by herself in the vid is the whole meaning of the song, afraid of human interaction.
This song is in my top ten of all time list. The lyrics sum up how life can get as you age if you are not careful. I sometimes slip into a grey place just void of emotion and it takes some kind interaction to pull me out.
Man Tonight Alive are just turning into the Jenna Mcdougall show by the looks of it. Feels more like a solo pop video than a 5(?) piece pop punk band.
+tom s not really, they arent the only band to do this.
Cam actually tweeted about why it's just Jenna
twitter.com/CammAlive/status/660020959475175424?s=09
+tom s People. This song is about being lonely. Lonely not in the way everybody hates you, lonely in the way that nobody cares about you. That nobody thinks you worth their time, that you are really lonely but that it will be alright one day (Because we know everything will be alright one day) But this is the reason why is jenna alone in this video. You can see how much she is into this song and this song just gives me those feelings i can't find words to explain. This is the point of song and it's amazing, but we know that whole band is still here.
+Chelsea FC Alright man, I see that, safe for explaining :)
yeah i figured thats the reason
Everything’s I’ve been feeling recently has been put into words that I couldn’t say ♥️🖤
I swear if I see anyone hating on Jenna for wearing braids I will be so pissed.
agree, she rocks them... people who disagree are just small minded lol
Bri, I have a serious question to you. Being a black woman as yourself, do you feel any sense of being uncomfortable with Jenna's braids? I was arguing and arguing all day with another fan on Facebook saying that Jenna wearing dreadlocks is wrong, and saying it was a matter of cultural appropriation. You feel that her braids are offensive to the black race or anything of that nature.
+lauren peralta wow I love how insightful you are about this Lauren! :) But if I'm going to be honest it does bother me as a black women who has been told my hair was "getho" or "hood" and she can wear it and it be called stylish or hip. But I hope people can focus on the song and everything and not her hair.
+lauren peralta Better question, do they know that dreadlocks appear in Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, as well as multiple culture, where they sometimes represent the roots of a tree meaning the wearer is close to nature, including being shown in Scottish carvings.
While most people focus on the Rastafarian connection in Jamaica that is less than 100 years old, while Hinduism is the oldest religion still practiced.
+bri nicole (whoaitsbri) Thanks I was being very polite with my comment. But I see where you're coming from, there's many black men and women who have been put down and being called Ghetto because of their dreadlocks. Thanks for the reply!
Love the meaning behind this song and how the video goes along perfectly. The video really helps with telling the story of the song since it's just Jenna.
I'm not going to lie; this song reminded me of Avril's Under My Skin album.
Wow.
I am definitely going to see you guys on your Limitless Tour in Madrid, Spain.
Love you
BRACE YOURSELVES. The hair & pop-haters are coming!
okay but honestly im legit crying right now this isnt the usual tonight alive but its still so beautiful no matter what and I'm really excited to see where this is leading to
I hope the album is a bit more Rock oriented than this but definitely liked the song
Awesome song, I can't wait to hear the rest of the album.
oops my repeat button broke
